A fish looks like a lot 
more food when alive

Once gutted, sliced and cooked
over a fire
the few bites we had 
ended up being more of a tease

We slept well that night
In the morning we were ready 
for a new adventure
We didn't have weed anymore

But we had a map
and the nearest big city
London, was only a few 
hours by car, maybe half a day
hitchiking 

We hide some of our stuff 
and left for the city
with each a small bag

2 hippy hitchiking in 
the southern part of Ontario
wasn't the most appealing
prospect for drivers flying by

We spent many hours on
the highway wihout a ride

A cop pulled over
I though at least they would
bring us at a better spot on 
the road

No, they stop to tell us
that we couldn't sit or lay down
on the side of the road. 
A lot of people drinking 
and driving made it unsafe
for us... and drove away
Wasn't it their job
to pull over the people
who drink and drive?

It's important to keep the moral
when hitchiking
The best way I found is 
to walk until you can't walk
anymore and then to stand waiting
for a ride until you can't stand
anymore and then start again

You also have to make sure
people will see you from afar
while walking
when you can see a mile
ahead, then you know 
you have a good spot 
at the end of that mile

After a couple rides
a car drove by
a kid in the rear window
giving us the finger
I politely responded with a finger

The car brakes
burned its tire while it spuns around
drove back to us like a maniac
Jumped off his car 
A short guy with a mullet
and a handle bar mustache

He swore he was going
to explode our brains
smash our face on his
car, and paint his car
with our blood

He went to his trunk
opened it, enraged

We're freaking out
Olivier doesn't understand 
a word of what he's saying
I wish I still had my knife

The dude pulled out
this little skimpy 
wood stick... 
smaller than a broom handle

We didn't move
I wasn't sure 
what the fuck he would do 
with this little piece of wood

He finally said:
'Why the fuck did you give me the finger'
'Cause one of the kid in your car gave me the finger?!?'

He look confused and pissed
We were not moving, and probably 
a head taller than him

He put his head back in the car
'Who the fuck did that'
He slapped some kids in the back
Got in his car 
Screeched his tire and 
left like a maniac!

We finally got in Lodon
Walking around the street
we are both from Montreal
so this small town 
wasn't too intimidating

I noticed the mouthwash 
was on special
2 bottles for 1.99
I though it was odd
I hate mouthwash

We heard some people
in the street
A big group of people
wanting to free Weed Man

We joined in the fun
drum were played
weed was somked

We ended up in a park
by the river
Joints were flying around 

'Smoke me' little labels 
attached to them

A dwarf talked about
reading is power
getting high is fun 
but you have to keep 
on reading

We got high
and ended up sleeping 
in that park 
near the river 

A few homeless 
sleeping nearby
bottles of mouthwash
emptyed around them

What a way to get wasted
at least they smelled 
a bit better like that
